Read full description of the books:

Dear Christian Romance Writers,THIS is what you need to be reading. MacDonald combines some of the great in all genres, offers some fabulous spiritual truths, and creates a charming male hero who is strong and Godly without alienating the reader. It's pure genius. True, he is overtly fond of the adjective "manly"...but why shouldn't manly become more of our vocabulary? Why shouldn't there be a wholesome hero? Its encouraging and should be taken note of.Loved The Fisherman's Lady. I can't wait to read more by MacDonald.

Read information about the author

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister.

Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, George MacDonald inspired many authors, such as G.K. Chesterton, W. H. Auden, J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Madeleine L'Engle. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence."

Elizabeth Yates wrote of Sir Gibbie, "It moved me the way books did when, as a child, the great gates of literature began to open and first encounters with noble thoughts and utterances were unspeakably thrilling."

Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.
